Things that make me smile: being crafty, cards one through four, plus the fabric I’ve been cutting the flowers from.
Things that are absurd: that I woke up at 830 on a Saturday and went straight back to working on these.

Those are fantastic!  There’s nothing wrong with having a productive Saturday.  Although I think crafting is a different (and fun) kind of productive that can take the stress of the work productive that we have to do.  I’m glad I live closer to my family.  When they come visit, it makes me clean and my mom helped me organize a bit this morning.  It’s feeling much less chaotic around my apartment.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
